Rebuilding, need a few opinions
Whats up guys, alot of you know how bad my luck is, and doing this rebuild, i will have fix/replaced every single part of my setup.
Built Gsr motor, 84 mm, arias 9.2:1 pistons, eagle H beam rods. Going for 350 low boost 400+ high.
Now for the questions
Im going to replace all the bearings (rods and mains). I dont know what kind of bearings to go with. Im trying to decide between ACL race bearings (regular or the ones with the expnaded oil clearance?) or honda bearings?
I have a guy a use to work with at the honda dealership helping me out. If i go with honda bearings, hes going to show me how to do all the clearancing and such, but the ACL bearings are basically one size fits all.?.?.
Im planning on ordering two new pistons to replaced the messed up one. Should i just hone the two cylinders and instill the pistons, or should i hone all four cylinders and order four sets of rings not 2?
Lastly im planning on going with a golden eagle 84 mm HG.
Any input/comments would really be a great help. Im trying to get everything ordered by tomorrow so i can get it rebuilt by next weekend.
TIA, josh

O yea, compression befor the teardown was ~180 across the board. Only pulled it apart because of coolant in the oil. HG look fine still dont know how it got there.

Go with Honda bearings.
If the other 2 cylinder walls look fine (nice defineable cross hatch), I think you can get away with just honing out the two that need it.
